Definición

  • In order for the heart to work effectively, it needs to pump in a controlled and regular rhythm, with coordination between the atria and ventricles. If these cease to work in unison, then the result in the worst case scenario may be death, depending on the type of arrhythmia. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Cardioversion]
